How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Scarthingwell without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Scarthingwell
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Scarthingwell is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Repairing versus replacing in Scarthingwell
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Scarthingwell. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LS24 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Scarthingwell?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
